we always get cover if someone off sick otherwise the ratios will be wrong. sometimes this has to be the manager. but this means that the manager then has to work extra days (we all work 4 x days) staff choice)so this still incurrs extra staff cost. we value staff at our nursery, if someone off sick then usually they can make up lost hours by working extra day the next week as the person who covered for them will want time off. we find that if you treat staff fairly and with respect they are more inclined to want to support their team. still believe that government should pay the nurseries more funding to provide nursery education then the rate of pay can be raised, as parents fees cannot be raised any more (£26 per day currently)and parents are not willing to pay a lot for childcare.
